Trial summary

Acute mesenteric artery thromboembolism(AMT) is one of the important causes of acute abdomen and intestinal necrosis. If the intestinal blood supply is not restore in time, the prognosis of the disease is often poor and even endangers the life of the patient. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Vascular Surgery Department of Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital

Acute mesenteric artery thromboembolism(AMT) is one of the important causes of acute abdomen and intestinal necrosis. If the intestinal blood supply is not restore in time, the prognosis of the disease is often poor and even endangers the life of the patient. Through laparoscopic surgery combined with modern minimally invasive endovascular technology, the blood supply of patients' intestine is restored. Observe the perioperative vascular patency rate, all-cause mortality, and the probability of short bowel syndrome. Through the hybrid operating room, we want to seek a multidisciplinary collaborative treatment mode to improve the long-term survival rate of such patients with enough intestines and completely free from TPN, and improve the prognosis of these patients.

Read the detailed description

This study is a clinical cohort study; consecutively registered 30 patients with acute intestinal ischemia caused by superior mesenteric artery thromboembolism.

If all the radiography, physical signs, and laboratory markers hint at intestinal necrosis, exploratory laparotomy followed by enterectomy and thrombectomy is the first choice. If none of them hint at intestinal necrosis, endovascular therapy is superior. Laparoscopic exploration followed by endovascular therapy was performed for other patients, after that the intestinal blood supply was evaluated again by laparoscopy.

The main endpoints are the survival rate of bowel function preserved at 30 days, and the secondary endpoints are 30-day mortality, in-hospital mortality, symptoms-free survival rate, and rate of transition to laparotomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mesenteric Artery Ischemia and Thromboembolism, run by Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

survival rate with preserved bowel function (time frame: within 30 days after operations). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04686981, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Mar 2024.
